(1984) in which the replacements of a vital component, for which there are n spare units, are made with the goal of maximizing the expected system life.

## Abstract We consider a system that depends on a single vital component. If this component fails, the system life will terminate. If the component is replaced before its failure then the system life may be extended; however, there are only a finite number of spare components. In addition, the lif
